<<Europe is no longer isolated>>
or
correction - <<England is no longer isolated>>
If Mr. Blair's description of the current political landscape is accepted as correct, and his vision of an imaginary European landscape is discarded, then we have an excellent description of the current situation. Countries that oppose the war are not against the United States, nor are they for Saddam, they oppose the war. Mr. Blair's speech was a series of hollow pipes, set up to feed pablum.
The French, the Russians, the Chinese, the Canadians are all opposed to the war, they were opposed to the war even before doctored intelligence was mentioned by the BBC. Many countries have re-stated their opposition, most recently India and Russia. Every country that has directly opposed the war has suffered from direct (usually economic) retaliation of some kind, the real danger here is to your portfolio (what's left of it), you can't fool capital.
Since my other sandwich sign is busy, I am going to make a new one for the SI Foreign Affairs Thread, I will make it out of of soft (Canadian) pine and I'll give away free hamburgers and french fries.

Why do these countries oppose the war ?
Because the war on terror will not be won by pitting soldier against soldier. |
